i think it's a good idea.
trouble is gonna be getting eyeballs to the auction.
people probably aren't looking for 'anti-stickers' so you have to hook 'em with something else, and that can be tough.
you could also try keywords relative to the street art scene like, i dunno, graffiti, wheat paste, obey, wk, etc...XHonusWagnerX - 1-3-2008 at 08:44 AM
thats a pretty cool idea! I like that they are on clear vinyl... of course it wouldnt work if they wern't, but its still a cool idea.
I would probably buy them if I knew another sticker or something that I wanted to use them on. BD is right the hardest part will be getting people to
check them out. I could see them selling really well in a 3 pack with a hang tag at a bunch of differant retail stores.defstarsteve - 1-3-2008 at 02:56 PM
Thanks guys!
I might try marketing them to the art scene...
it's a simple idea that might work I just have to find my market...
I wish I could get them into retail...RomanticViolence - 1-3-2008 at 04:11 PM
Awesome!JawnDiablo - 1-3-2008 at 04:14 PM

You know... i was just thinking the same thing.
I would need a pile of 50 of them though.
I could do all kinda awesome shit with those!
Family pictures, dumping people/ pictures of your ex's, christmas cards... ect.
All kinds of neat-o shit. defstarsteve - 1-3-2008 at 04:30 PM
I'll give bulk discounts
ha ha
I also thought about making them in 3 sizes, 4", 3" and 2" but I'm not sure on that yet...
I just need some hype about them...
and then I think it'll take off on it's own...
just think what you could do with some in a hot topic storeRomanticViolence - 1-3-2008 at 04:32 PM

That is all!RomanticViolence - 1-3-2008 at 04:44 PM
...i could slap quite a few of those on the foreheads of the fucktards i see up at the bar...XHonusWagnerX - 1-3-2008 at 06:06 PM

I bet that Newbury Comics would buy them and put them in stores. They buy stuff from small/indie companies all the time. Give them a call...
1.617.254.1666 Im not 100% sure who the best person to talk to would be but I think that Jaben Wyneken is a good place to start. You can just call
that main number and ask to speak to him, they wont ask why or anything. Then offer to send him a few samples and hope for the best, but I think they
would probably buy them!newbreedbrian - 1-3-2008 at 06:27 PM

I like it and I think different sizes would be a good idea. But I got to say, $5 for three stickers is a bit pricey.barc0debaby - 1-3-2008 at 09:48 PM
I love shit like this. A few years ago I stenciled "Throw Me" on bricks and left them in front of walmarts, starbucks, etc. Stickin it to whitey!JawnDiablo - 1-3-2008 at 11:19 PM
when i was in high school print shop, my friend's sister made up tons of little stickers that looked like screws. they were to put over the hearts in
bumper stickers like I{> my dog etc...defstarsteve - 1-3-2008 at 11:23 PM

I reposted Steves bulletin about the 'anti stickers' and one of my friends replied back saying that she used to have a bunch of screw stickers and
they would put them over hearts on bumper stickers. Thats funny!
I remember seeing some years ago that said like...
I 'spade' My Dog
I 'club' My Wife
with the symbol insted of the heart...JawnDiablo - 1-4-2008 at 09:18 AM
Our print shop teacher in high school was pretty cool. He let everybody print up metal t shirt screens and all other kind of stuff that the normal
teaching staff would shun. I made these blood feast t shirts with inverted crosses on them and half the metal dudes in school were wearing it.
i'd love to get some screws or clubs stickers.
someone around here has a spray paint stencil of the Dare logo that says dare to keep cops off donuts....gavin - 1-4-2008 at 09:48 AM

Yeah dude.
Buck was in my class too.
It was like welcome back kotter with all them sweathogs like barbuto in that class...BDx13 - 1-4-2008 at 02:00 PM
i think this is a great idea and that you can definitely find outlets for something like this, but ultimately wholesale price is gonna be a big
deciding factor. use yours to line up some distribution then outsource production to china! morgan - 1-4-2008 at 04:04 PM

that we have no clue where it is on a globe.)
On a side note, very cool idea.defstarsteve - 1-4-2008 at 04:20 PM
sorry I wont be outsourcing them, and I doubt I can get them to retail...
my production costs are low enough I will probably bring them down in price soon.JawnDiablo - 1-4-2008 at 04:25 PM
Boycott may know some brothel workers who need a part time job in a sweat shop....BDx13 - 1-4-2008 at 04:30 PM
slap 'made in america' on the packaging and you can double your price.
good point
but they are a gimmick
like a pet rock...
I need a good marketing manager who works cheap...and can get things to marketXHonusWagnerX - 1-4-2008 at 06:39 PM

Did you get my email Steve?defstarsteve - 1-4-2008 at 06:40 PM
I did but some of my customres deal with them directly and it's a hassle
I need to do my work in the wholesale end of things and find someone to do retail marketing...
you freaking rule. that is all.
